HOUND barking at PUMA

On winning over Hillary supporters: Part of the job of Obama’s volunteers will be outreach to disappointed former Hillary Clinton supporters, who carried Clinton to a nine point walloping of Obama during the bitterly fought Pennsylvania primary. Rendell, formerly an influential cheerleader for Team Hillary, is optimistic that the holdovers will be converted with the help of Obama’s widely dispatched foot soldiers.

“Not all of us are there yet,” Rendell acknowledged. “But 90 percent of us are there, and we’re getting more and more enthusiastic every day about Sen. Obama.”
